Hello again, everyone! Just back from Sociology class - and I thought I would just ask the question on here - it's not research per say, I think - it's just a question i want to ask you lot since it's going to affect many of you rather than me.
Bascially, we're covering social policy at the moment, in class, and I've been given Married Couples Tax Allowences.
I'm doing online research to get the year, party, the offical name and what it involves but the last question is "How might it affect the family?" It's not about deeply personal stuff, but just generally, what does this tax break mean for you?
Reply again in a minute, but I just wanted to put this out there seperate from the rest of my news...0 -

Afternoon all,
I've been shopping and bought a shirt for Ds1 and some trainers for Ds2. It took ages to find shoes to fit as he's got wide feet and a high instep so ended up spending £30 at Clarks. I also bought a coat for me from OH;) and a Wii ( for me also but i'm going to pretend it's for all of us:p ).
I need to get Ds2's room finished so does anyone want to join me in a HHC at 3.00?

Thank you Toottifrootti - It was a lovely day and I honestly had no idea what I would be getting. I opened it up and just dropped my jaw. He is a very good SO; observant as well, since he knows what I like and what I don't like - and can follow it!0 -
